Little Emperor

C C G C

[Verse]
C
Hey little emperor come down from your throne
    G                        C
The hour glass is empty your time has come and gone

The battlements are crumblin' the walls are tumblin' down
     G                             C
Your counselors and concubines are getting' outta town

[Chorus]
F                                                C
Some say it's an omen some say it's the winds of change
      F                                            C
Which ever way it's goin' it's blowin' like a hurricane

[Verse]
C
Hey little conqueror where you gonna go
    G                             C
The world is even smaller than it was when you left home

Emptiness in front of you and detritus behind
  G                       C
Nobody ever told you that history was kind

[Chorus]
F                                                  C
Standin' on the corner your fortune blowin' in the wind
F                                               C
Daddy didn't warn you there ain't no goin' home again

[Verse]
C
No pomp and circumstance no more shock and awe
       G                            C
You're just a little emperor that's all

[Verse]
C
Hey little hypocrite what you gonna say
         G                             C
When you wind up standin' naked on the final judgement day

How you gonna justify it who you gonna call
G                                   C
What if it turns out that God don't look like you at all

[Chorus]
F                                                     C
The leaves are in the teacup the hieroglyphics on the wall
F                                                            C
You ain't the first to rise up you sure won't be the last to fall

[Verse]
C
Hey little emperor come down from you throne
    G                         C
And let another emperor climb on
